Weight loss reporting: predicted body mass index after bariatric surgery.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 33 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
BMI and %EBMIL are the most accurate methods for comparing results of patients after bariatric surgery. %EBMIL is based on BMI 25 as a constant end-point for all patients, but BMI 25 is easily achieved by patients with BMI < 50, whereas it is not so feasible for patients with BMI > 50. We were prompted to obtain by statistical methods a mathematical formula able to calculate the final BMI (FBMI) 3 years after the operation, dependent on the initial or preoperative BMI (IBMI) of a multicenter group of morbid obese patients operated with different bariatric techniques. We also obtained a specific formula for each bariatric procedure of this group of patients. We propose the name Predicted BMI for the value obtained with these formulas and its application in the %EBMIL instead of the constant value of BMI 25. We have analyzed the IBMI and FBMI of a multicenter group of 7,410 patients, subjected to different bariatric procedures with a minimum follow-up of 36 months. Statistical methods with a linear regression model have been used to obtain the two types (global and specific) of Predicted BMI. We first obtained a general formula of PBMI = IBMI x 0.4 + 11.75 for the total population of patients, and a second specific formula for each bariatric technique: PBMI = IBMI x 0.43 + 13.25 + technique_correction_adjustment. Predicted BMI and its application to the %EBMIL may result in a more rational comparison of results of bariatric patients, bariatric techniques, and groups of bariatric surgeons. Predicted BMI may advance the BMI that each patient would probably achieve after surgery.
